Door Speakers

I've got my door panels off to replace my mirrors.

I want to replace the front door speakers with something new, and just a tad better than OEM without getting crazy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Guys!

KICKER Co-axials are a noticeable improvement in bass and not as tinny in the highs as the tri-axials if you don't have an EQ. You can get 4 for about $80-100.

Just about anything is an improvement over OEM. I got a set at Walmart when one of mine went out and couldn't believe how much better they sounded.

Heck, two tin cans and a string would not be much of a downgrade from oem, if any!!!

Sounds like you've done a couple then........are the rears hard to get to and change? I think someone mentioned once that the rear seat had to come out to change them??

I changed my fronts-only to Pioneer TS-G6840R in July of 2007.

Far-better sounding, and they were real inexpensive. I got mine on eBay (probably from a ricer who was upgrading to something a little more extreme).

It makes a heckuva difference over the stock ones.

To make the job plug-n-play, no matter what brand you buy, get some Metra 72-5600 adapters. They mate with the OEM Speaker plugs.
